 When Justin Timberlake picked 2006 as the year to rhyme “back” with, um, “back” on the now legendary single “Sexy Back,” he reached what might be mistakenly perceived as a new level in rhymes gone horribly wrong. Please. The boy band bard has a LOT of shitty sound-coupling to catch up with, as thiz oral abortion frm Kany West and Jadakiss on Cracked.com’s list — Rhyme Crime: The 20 Worst Rhymes In Pop Music History — demonstrates.
Don’t try to treat me like I ain’t famous,
My apologies, are you into astrology?
Cause I’m, I’m tryin to make it to Uranus.
In addition to the myriad of verbal atrocities on Cracked’s list, we’d add Hold Steady lyricist Craig Finn’s outrageous (and awesome) pairing of “Newport News” with “Elizabeth Shue” frm “The Swish.” The there’s Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s truly puzzling line frm “Still You Turn On Me”: “Every day a little sadder/A little madder/Someone fetch me a ladder.” A ladder!? Thankfully they couldn’t think of anything that rhymes with spackle knife.
If you can think of any badder rhymes that would makes us sadder, please let us know…or fetch us a ladder…whatever.
